Zionist Actions Committee Closes
Week-Long Session With Appeal
to Moscow, Goldmann Warning

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Zionist Actions Committee
adopted a resolution calling
upon the Soviet Government to
respect the "sacred right of
every Jew in every country to
emigrate to Israel," especially
those members of Jewish fami-
lies who have been separated
as a result of the Nazi holo-
caust.
The resolution, which was
adopted at the final session of
the week-long meeting of the
Actions Committee, asserted
that no Jew will ever accept
the Soviet authorities' system-
atic attempts to cut off millions
of Jews from the sources of
their cultural past. It noted with
anxiety "the manifestations of
anti-Semitic calumnies and in-
citement" expressed in the So-
viet press and literature, and
in the general Soviet attack
against religion.
The resolution expressed
"profound appreciation" over
the moral support rendered "by
all seeking freedom and peace
in the struggle for the rights of
the Soviet Jews."
Another resolution appeal-
ed to the authorities and en-
lightened public opinion in
Latin American countries
"where Arab agents dare to
promote incitement aimed at
promoting antagonism be-
tween the Jewish and non-
Jewish populations."
The Actions Committee ex-
pressed confidence that the
"Jews in these countries will
continue to stand up against
anti-Semitic attacks and defend
their rights." The resolution
repeated the warning against
the danger of neo-Nazi move-
ments, and expressed the con-
viction that the Latin American
people would recognize the
Nazi anti-Semitic manifestations
as a threat to their own way
of life.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann told
the Actions Committee that the
Jewish religion—which, he said,
reposes on great ethnical hu-
man ideals—must become more
flexible.
He warned that the mainte-
nance of a rigid conservative
position by religious leaders
carried the danger of a separa-
tion split.
Dr. Goldmann also said
that the time had come to
start a "dialogue of historical
dimensions" between the lead-
ers of orthodoxy and repre-
sentatives of other Jewish
groups to bring the two parts
closer together.
Obviously referring to the
cable sent recently to Premier
Levi Eshkol by seven American
non-Orthodox organizations urg-
ing him not to give in to pres-
sure of extremist Orthodox or-
ganizations, Dr. Goldmann said
that the interest of non-Israeli
Jewish communities outside of
Israel in developments in Is-
rael was "fully legitimate" and
that no religious leader should
complain about "interference"
in Israel's internal affairs.
He hailed the current session
of the actions committee, de-
claring it had gone beyond ful-
filling routine tasks. He also
cautioned against the "errone-
ous idea" that increased efforts
of Jewish communities in coun-
tries outside of Israel could be
at the expense of weakening en-
deavors for Israel.
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol
earlier called for increased
"voluntary immigration" of
Jewish youth from the free
lands of the world.
"We have almost reached the
peak of our efforts in the ab-
sorption of immigrants from
the countries of stress," he said.
"A way must he found to the

With President Zalman Sha-
zar on the platform, the pre-
mier, citing the success of the
U. S. Peace Corps, told the
world Zionist leaders at the ses-
sion: "Let the Jewish reserve

Author of a Novel to Be Out April 10

Exposition Press, 386 S. Park,
New York 16, this week an-
nounced that a Detroit optome-
trist is the author of a novel
which it will release on April 10.

Dr. Leon E. Firestone is the
author of "Strength Thy Weak-
ness," the novel in which he
poses the questions: "Is there a
point where ideals, when rigidly
adhered to, become failings? Do
the sturdy qualities and aspira-
tions which guide conventional
society sometimes boomerang,
wreaking havoc on those who
were most steadfast?"
Dr. Firestone, who has special-
ized in the development of con-
tact lenses, brings the knowl-
edge of his profession to his
novel. He was born in Los An-
geles in 1919 and came to De-
troit with his family after his
father's death. He is a graduate

Albert Neisser, a 19th century

covered' the causes of gonorrhea
and leprosy and, together with
Wasserman, developed the blood
test for the detection of syphilis.
